Location: San Francisco, California

Duration: Full Time

15+ Years

Job Title: Sr Full Stack Engineer / Technical Lead on site

Location:

SF/Bay Area, California working at an upstart company in Fintech/Financial App for emerging markets.

The Role

A Technical Lead on our team is a hands-on leadership role for candidates with breadth across multiple layers of our stack and the judgment to drive technical outcomes. We are building:

An iOS app (Swift)
An Android app (Kotlin)
A Web app (React)
A standalone backend (Python + FastAPI, Postgres, AWS)

If you bring a mix of these skill sets and can guide others to deliver high-quality software, this role may be a strong fit. Please also review our Senior Android/iOS/Frontend/Backend roles for deeper, discipline-specific details.

As an early engineering leader, you will define our architecture, set engineering standards, and lead the delivery of a performant, reliable, and secure product from the ground up. The problem space includes financial services with real-money movement at international scale and non-trivial compliance, integrity, and latency constraints. You will collaborate across product, design, and operations, and help grow and mentor the team. You will work directly with the founders. This role may expand to broader engineering leadership across platforms as we scale.

Requirements

First candidate was very competent enterprise engineering leader, but client is looking for someone super hands-on, brings some mobile exposure, and someone who has start up experience is what they want. NOT someone who has been high up in management at an enterprise corporation, which is a big mismatch with this client
